Identify gaps in research
Identify gaps in research
PSY 211 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric Overview: For this milestone, you will identify a research gap in the articles you reviewed for your chosen track and develop a research question addressing the gap. Please note there may be more recent developments in the field related to your chosen track but for this assignment you will only focus on the articles provided. You will then determine an appropriate research design and how you will account for issues of ethics. The final project is meant for you to propose a hypothetical study. You are not and should not be conducting human subjects research for this project. It is not necessary for the purposes of this assignment. All human subjects research requires written approval from the SNHU COCE Institutional Review Board in order to protect the welfare and ensure ethical treatment of the subjects. Complete each section of the Research Design Worksheet based on the research gap you identified. You will use this worksheet to inform the Research Design section of your final project submission. The following elements must be addressed as outlined in the worksheet and the Final Project Guidelines and Rubric document: Identify gaps in research
